Quote 1050

The rationalist will not receive many of the doctrines of revelation because they do not accord with his preconceived notions, which he calls the dictates of reason. The enthusiast will not submit to the authority of scripture because he imagines that he is under the direction of a superior guide. The one makes his own reason the judge of what he will receive as true form the volume of revelation; the other determines every thing, whether it relate to opinion or practice, by the suggestion of his fancied inspiration.
